“…Hydrophobic and amphiphilic molecules, such as ICG, can be loaded into HA‐PBA NPs and retained in the hydrophobic pockets through π–π stacking (Svechkarev, Kyrychenko, Payne, & Mohs, ). Compared to free ICG, NanoICG provided up to 2.9‐fold higher intraoperative contrast and improved surgical outcomes in breast, pancreatic, and prostate tumors (Hill et al, , ; Qi, Chen, et al, ; Souchek et al, ; Wojtynek et al, ). Others have improved the tumor uptake of ICG with active targeting ligands.…”
